I can't believe it has been a year since Rachel came into our lives. She arrived at a time when I needed her the most. While she will never know my dad, at least he got to meet her.
I am so happy to be Rae's mom. She is just a fun little girl. She is very adaptable, but still strong-willed. She is so much like her brother, but so very different. She has a lot of spirit and keeps me on my toes, but does it in a fun way.
At one year, Rae weighed in at 22 lbs, 4 oz and measured 31 inches. Or as her pediatrician put it - She's the size of a skinny 18 month old. She's a good eater and has completely given up bottles (of her own doing). She still loves her pacifier, though. :) She loves to eat meat, cheese, and fruit, or anything sweet really. Pasta, bread, and veggies are ok, but she will devour the other things first.
She's not walking yet, but I am ok with that. She's very close and for now I am enjoying being faster than her. She does point and say "this" or "that" when she wants something or wants to know what something is. She has a handful of other words - dada, bra (brother), Sa (Sam), day-de (sadie), dag (dog), mah (milk). However, she doesn't use these consistently. We're pretty good at interpreting what she wants though. She has started taking an interest in coloring and stealing her brother's toys, so I think it will be an interesting winter. :)
I can't imagine my world without Rae and I am so happy she is part of it.
